East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo has urged town residents to “be mindful of basic crime prevention practices, such as locking cars and front doors at night, paying attention to surroundings, and promptly reporting suspicious activity,” following a string of apparently unrelated crimes.
East Hampton Village police responded Sunday afternoon to Herrick Park, where a man had been reported “inhaling cleaning products.” He told an officer he wasn’t “huffing,” just blowing sand out of his phone.
